Isn’t she beautiful? At birth she weighed a healthy 9lbs 5.5 oz. What a birth warrior her mama was!!

At home she was greeted by her two sweet sisters, one of whom I think was pretty surprised! I photographed baby Hazel during her newborn session only about 15 months ago! Can’t believe she’s already a big sister!

Ingrid is a peaceful baby and a good sleeper — a sweet mercy for her mama.

Some of y’all know, but when I’m not photographing newborns, doing the mom-thing, or being a PA, I’m an enthusiast of empowering births. Ingrid’s mommy labored strong and calm and was so focused at Allen Birthing Center, and everyone in the room was so happy to be there.

She looks so much like her “big” sister.

Couldn’t you just eat her up? She is so adorable and squishy.

Welcome to the world, baby Ingrid! We sure are glad you’re here, safe and sound.
